Inspired by the art of furniture, his approach to design is very hands-on and governed by imagination. Earlier works involved the exploration of innovative techniques and the full potentials of materials.

Timothy co-owns and is the in-house designer for Mount Maunganui and online design store, Paper Plane. Products developed exclusively for Paper Plane are a result of the daily engagement between Timothy and the consumer market.

Emphasis is on working with locally sourced materials and craftsmen, subtle but playful design and customisable products at an accessible price point.
